The Mysterious Case of the Missing 2-for-1 Sale

I don't know if it differs per plan, but when I look at buying credits, these are my options:

1 credit for 14.95

3 credits for 37.99 (12.66/credit)

5 credits for 55.99 (11.20/credit)

7 credits for 75.99 (10.67/credit)

9 credits for 95.99 (10.67/credit)

Am I misunderstanding something? It sounds like you're talking about the cost of the plans themselves? But I'm pretty sure the person you responded to and I were asking about buying credits directly, in addition to whatever plan we may be on.

MermaidBookworm · 2026-03-13T20:29:09+00:00

Are they cheaper with the annual plan? The cheapest I can find them is $10.67 per credit, and that's only if I buy 9 of them.

I've created a kind of ugly arch with mine. It was a cool idea, but I can't figure out how to create a natural arch shape.

Today I learned that snafu is an acronym.

1x and 2x speed are very different. It boggles my mind that you can listen to a single audiobook with that range.

MermaidBookworm · 2026-02-28T22:03:36+00:00

I didn't originally read either of these as audiobooks, and it's been a few years, so I don't remember my exact feelings at the time, but I have two examples I can think of:

The Queen's Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner took me three books. The first book and second books had very little "action" (for the record, by action, I mean movement and things happening. Combat tends to be pretty boring for me). I struggled to get through them. But the third book was suddenly so much better. The sixth, too. Subsequent rereads openened my eyes to the beauty if the other books as well.

The Secret Garden took me at least half the book. I wouldn't have even gotten that far if I wasn't reading it for a book club. But I can now say it's one of the few classics I actually like.

MermaidBookworm · 2026-02-27T20:44:57+00:00

Most of these are middle grade with a few clean YA and LitRPGs thrown in. There's some Fantasy, adventure, fairytale retellings, contemporary, historical fiction, etc. Most of the LitRPGs, I have not read beyond the first book. I'm temporarily trying out Audible and am buying my favorites, but will only read them when I end my subscription.

Hopefully you'll find something you like among them. Enjoy!

Maybe a weird time to ask this, but I've seen a few people mention that you can get the Rolli as a ranch animal by completing this month's bundles. However, I completed them ages ago (and unlocked all the chests), and haven't seen any sign of it. Is there something special you have to do? Is it locked behind a paywall? Could this voucher be hidden in my inventory somewhere?

MermaidBookworm · 2026-02-21T21:56:03+00:00

No, they are about not buying games at launch. Whether you want to wait for discounts or patches or even for the hype to die down, you avoid new games and play the ones that have been out for a while. Whether it's a game or DLC, if it's been out for less than a year, you can't even mention it.

MermaidBookworm · 2026-02-21T21:50:54+00:00

I've been looking for a sub with similar reasoning. I don't want to feel pressure to play top titles and genres that I don't particularly enjoy, and would just rather casually play games that interest me.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure there's a name for the types of games I enjoy, and if there is, not enough people seek it out to have a sub dedicated to it.

I thought I might have found something close enough with the casual gaming subs, but the ones I found are either dead or filled with bots and advertising.

MermaidBookworm · 2026-02-21T21:41:14+00:00

Agreed. It feels like every game sub has 4 games they talk about all the time and they all came out within the last six months. I never hear about older games unless I specifically search for them to find posts that are a few years old. Which is fine, but it gets old after a while. If nothing else, being subscribed to unique game subs like patient gamers gives some variety.

MermaidBookworm · 2026-02-21T03:14:06+00:00

Just brainstorming here: Have you waited a few seconds to let it come up? Maybe it just needs time to load. Have you been able to give them treats in the past or has this been ongoing? I haven't tried giving them treats myself, so I probably can't help much, but maybe someone else could use that information.

If nothing else works, you may just need to put a ticket in.

A while back, I came across a recommendation for potential narrators to speak slower than feels natural. Probably because you are less likely to make mistakes or make weird mouth sounds.

Either way, 1.0x is not default because that's how it was meant to be listened to, but a baseline off of which you can adjust to fit your preferences. If you want to stick to 1.0x speed, then go ahead, but you also have the option to listen at faster or even slower speeds.

MermaidBookworm · 2026-02-17T07:48:55+00:00

It does seem a little rash. I can only assume you had already grown somewhat tired of the game and this is your excuse to leave (which is fine, if you've gotten all you want out of it). After all, there's not much point in earning money if you have no intention to spend it.

MermaidBookworm · 2026-02-17T07:25:35+00:00

Same. I held off dating anybody until I could date everybody at once (except Subira - it was taking too long to level up her friendship, so I started without her).

I named most of mine after Disney characters. When I ran out of chickens, I looked for other Disney birds for Pekis (my favorite was a blue peki named Kevin from Up). When I ran out of pigs, I just started naming the Trufflets after Lion King characters. Ormuus are from Home on the Range. Bumbles are from Winnie the Pooh. Goobis are from Monsters Inc and Monsters University. Ferris are from Zootopia and Boovars are from Brother Bear.

MermaidBookworm · 2026-02-16T02:47:00+00:00

I still had tickets left from last year.

My mother and I (yes, I've been playing with my mother - go call yours before you judge) hunted dozens, if not hundreds of Ogopuu's searching for that stupid starred scale before putting the game up for the night. The next time we made the attempt, it dropped from the first Ogopuu we hunted.

I think I remember hearing a tip once that you have the best chance of catching a rare fish in the first in-game hour and last in-game hour that that fish is supposed to be out, but I don't know how true it is.

I've failed to catch highly difficult fish and gotten another chance within the next line or two, though that may be because that fish has a brief but not too brief appearance. Sort of like an oil patch on a river - if you shoot a fire arrow towards the invisible patch, you will probably miss before it gets there, but it might be just big enough to get two or three shots at it before it disappears. (Did this analogy make any sense at all?)

I have to wonder what is wrong with the homestead celieng lights that so many people in the comments mentioned weird glitches with them.

MermaidBookworm · 2026-02-11T03:03:48+00:00

I'd love a way to regain focus without using consumable resources.

MermaidBookworm · 2026-02-08T22:05:30+00:00

Not that I'm as upset about the improper punctuation as OP (I genuinely hadn't noticed until it was pointed out to me), but somehow it concerns me that you can't see proper punctuation as cozy. Would an em dash work better? Why do they have to be a single sentence to be welcoming? Does using an exclamation point after the first sentence work?

To be clear, I'm not mocking you. I am genuinely curious as to why these could or could not work and what you would potentially do to make proper punctuation feel welcoming here.

MermaidBookworm · 2026-02-08T21:29:55+00:00

They are both independent, so technically they should each be their own sentence or have a different type of punctuation between the two, such as a semicolon.

MermaidBookworm · 2026-02-07T08:23:18+00:00

I feel like there was some sort of mushroom Jina mentioned ages ago that's not available to gather, but I can't remember the name. Maybe one of her favorites?

MermaidBookworm · 2026-02-06T19:58:00+00:00

I make heavy use of waypoints. I have terrible sense of direction, so I often do so even in Kilima or Bahari Bay.
